Suggestions for Use
These flashcard templates work well as a way for
your students to take notes on the Language Roots
PowerPoint. They are designed to be copied as a 1page document (note that the order of the words on
page 1 and page 2 are inverted for this purpose). If
you copy page 1 and page 2 as a 2-sided, 1-page
document, students can take notes on page 2 and then
cut the notes into flashcards for studying.
The root word list that includes all the definitions and
examples is useful if you have special needs children
in your class who cannot take notes from the
PowerPoint or who need more time to do so. It’s also
useful if students are absent when you give the
presentation. It’s a handy summary of the lecture.
